Congress: Shhhh....

Don’t speak… “Across the country, something is missing from the campaign ads of men and women running for Congress: the word ‘Congress,’” The Washington Post writes, adding, “There are years when incumbents can tout their experience and legislative achievements as they seek reelection. This is not one of those years, as the approval ratings of the gridlocked Congress have begun to approach the popularity of pond scum among an increasingly disenchanted electorate. The result is that consultants and strategists who run congressional campaigns appear to be employing some artful ad copy to avoid mentioning that their candidates are members of Congress.”

Is Obama just baiting the House GOP with his moves on immigration and executive privilege?
